Why is it important?

Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is the most important species for aquaculture production worldwide, and it provides significant economic benefits to the aquaculture sector, especially in Europe and Asia. This fish is not expensive, and it has an important role in compensating for the protein needs of the world. To best of our knowledge, there have been no reports on the effects of the bio-active compounds of CMEO on fish. The present study was thus conducted to determine the effects of CMEO on the growth performance and some blood parameters of the common carp.
